 This
very simple and well proportioned kit captures the unique Marzotto
built car very well. There's a fair amount of flash and a few feed
tags to remove on the body and from then on it's all very straightforward.
The wire wheels are pre-assembled, the heavily shaped rear window
is a vac-form with the rest of the windows in flat sheet with p/e
frames. |

 Similar
parts with different decals go to make the Targa Toscana winner.
The assembly and fine detailing has been well done but the
paint shows a number of file marks beneath and there are also tiny
snags in the blue decal side panels. From shelf distance it looks
fine. |

 The
majority of these parts are very similar to those included in the
Audi set that we reviewed in FSW 4/04. The garage structure and
re-fuelling rig are the same, being standard equipment, but the lighting
rig is somewhat different, having several floodlights on a boom,
rather than the complete framework used by the Germans. With the
LMM Bentley kit (LMM4068) this will make an attractive diorama, or
if you have the space why not add it to the side of the Audi pit
for real action. |

 National
rally championships are a great source of potential subjects for
model makers, especially as some collectors will be influenced by
great liveries and others will have a marque themed collection. All
except for the Punto sheets are for Tamiya kits, while the Racing
43 BIG kits will be ideal for the Fiats. The sheets are all clearly
printed and have multi view colour placement drawings. Main body
and interior colours are quoted in Italian and as far as we can see
there will be no two-tone finishes needed. Prize for the brightest
scheme must go to the pink and white La Bonelle Peugeot (MKMA2459).
The colour drawings can all be seen in our online shop if you are
unfamiliar with the liveries. |

 Two
very differenet variations of the Opel Commodore. The first subject
has subtly flared wheel arches on an otherwise fairly standard looking
car and apparently took part in the Nurburgring 36 hours. The kit
is well cast and should be a simple build.The second is much more dramatic with huge front and rear wings and a V8 engine revealed beneath the removable bonnet. The castings are very thin, dangerously so in places, so great care will be needed during clean up. In the hands of an experienced modeller this has the potential to be a stunning model, though we haven't a clue what the car did or how accurate it is! |

 We
can't have a new batch from Competition 43 without at least one Jagermeister
subject now, can we? The parts and build photos in the
instructions check out well with the race shot also included and
it all looks pretty straightforward.  |

 All
of these Group 5 BMWs were pretty outrageous to look at and none
more so than the 'flach' (flat) cars. With a similar rule-reading
to Kremer with their 935 K3, the original rear windscreen is retained
in position and then a more aerodynamic additional screen fitted
over the top. The castings in our kit are rather rougher than usual
for C43, so a fair amount of work will be needed to get it all fitting
snuggly. Stick with it and you will be rewarded with a fine miniature
of the cars driven by Winkelhock and Surer. |

 This
is a re-issue of a kit that we first saw 3 years ago. BMW's luxury
coupe may not be the obvious choice as a racing car but it
highlights the varied machinery that takes part in the Nurburgring
24 hours and would have had a reasonable amount of power. The shape
is good and we know that the finished model is very eye-catching
and will make an interesting addition to any BMW racing collection. |
